Capsules without unnecessary additives
Many tablets require up to half their volume in binders, lubricants, and glazing agents to be pressed in industrial machinery. For an active person taking care of their body, these fillers are completely superfluous. We therefore encapsulate our powder in hypromellose shells, derived from pure plant cellulose from spruce and pine.
The difference between cellulose and gelatin
Cellulose-based capsules offer distinct technical advantages over animal gelatin from cattle or pigs:
- Lower moisture sensitivity: Plant cellulose has lower moisture content, protecting hygroscopic mineral salts against clumping.
- Rapid dissolution: The capsule reliably dissolves in the acidic stomach environment within 15 minutes, gently releasing the powder.
- Plant-based origin: Suitable for everyone regardless of diet and easier on digestion.
Practical advice for sensitive stomachs
If your stomach reacts to supplements during periods of intense training, it is wise to take the capsule with a light evening snack or a bowl of fermented milk. The cellulose shell breaks down smoothly without irritating the gastric mucosa, ensuring steady and gentle mineral absorption through the night.
